Clergyman Tells Story of the
Yankees' Reckless Disre
gard for Danger.
A new story of the American fighttag
man's reckless disregard for danger,
which it Is one of the greatest prob
lems of their officers to curb, was
brought to Paris by Wilbur M. Wilson,
a Baptist clergyman from Colorado,
who went all the way from Chateau
Thierry to Fismes with a Pennsylvania
regiment In the drive which began In
July.
"With my own eyes," said Mr. Wil
son, "I have seen American boys steal
out from the trenches to a frog pond
In No Man's Land, calmly remove their
uniforms and dive into the cool wa
ters with German snipers not a bunr
dred yards away in their trenches.
The American boy appears to be ab
solutely unafraid. The greater the
number of casualties in his own unit
the greater is his resolve to make the
Germans pay the price. His morale
increases noticeably every time a com
rade falls with German bullets in his
body.
Mr. Wilson was in the front lines for
two months, serving in the uniform of
the Y. M. C. A. Many times, he says,
he drove his truck ahead of the field
kitchens and furnished hot drinks,
smokes and sweets to men who had
had nothing to eat for two days except
their iron rations. Francis B. Sayre,
President Wilson's son-in-law, was
with him for two -days north of
Chateau-Thierry. He is on his way
back to America to aid in the united
war work campaign in November,
when a drive for 170,500,000 will be
made to carry vii the work in which the
"Y," the Y. W. O. A., the Salvati"!
Army, National Catholic .War council
Kuighis of Columbus, Jewish Welfan
hoard, the Americaa Library assucia
tiou aud the war camp commuuitj
service are co-operating.
FRENCH TO FIGHT HUN LIES
Organizations Merge to Combat Cer
man Propaganda; Praise Yanks.
A union of the rcat French associ
arions against enemy propaganda ww
organized in 1'aris ou the occasion oi
the anniversary of the proclamatior
of the republic of 1792. Those preseir
included numerous members of tin
diplomatic corps, the institute ol
France, the council of state and par
liament. Special seats were reserve!,
for wounded soldiers and war veterans
as well as school children.
Paul Desehahel, president of the
chamber of deputies, who presided, ex
tolleo the two victories of the Marn
and praised the British successes in
Picardy and the American successes
in the Woevrc.
"Peace should be worthy of this
wftf' he said. " We want a pact guar
anteed by effective penalties, which
will protect us against the repetition
:f such horror.;.
THANKS TO RED CROSS
Societe de Secours Appreciates Aid
Given in Its Work.
A special vote of thanks to the Amer
ica ii lied Cross, to Groat Britain, U
various South American republics and
to French colonies for assistance ren
dered was adopted the other day at a
meeting of the &?ciete de Secours aux
P,lesses MIHtares In Pans.
Since the start of the war this so
ciety has expended considerably more
th..:n SI50.000.000 on its work of relicr.
It conducts 1G3 Infirmaries and railway
canteens fud 1G1 soldiers', clubs and
h:is onened 13 hospitals specially fitted
to deal with cases of tuberculosis. The
society has more than 18,000 nurses
and 12,000 auxiliaries.
BAD OMEN FOR GERMANY
iinitort States Flao Still Waves
Though Pole Is Shattered.
Tf you are one of those persons who
have faith in signs, omens, predictions
nml so on. you will probably see a
lucky onten in the effects of the bril
liant flash of iiglitning that struck the
immense llagpole on the New Orleans
customs house recently. The flagstaff
was shattered and forty or fifty large
splinters were showered downward to
the streets, but after the fireworks
wore over, as on anot'jor occasion made
r.-f ".m r;-b!e by F. S. Key, "our flag was
ftill there." In spite of the stroke Old
dory is still Hying over the customs
house.
BRITISH EAT MOST CHEESE
More Than Half Europe Output Goes
to England.
Statisticians have figured out that
Erclami eats the larger part of Eu
rop's out put of choose. Europe's output
Is 340,000,000 kilograms, and England
continues 180,000,000 kilograms of this
amount. Next comes IIoTland, which
laki:? 5G,000,000 ; Switzerland takes 43,
000,000: France, 31,000,000, and Ger
many 20,000,000 kilograms.
The only people on earth who eat no
'cheese are the Chinese.
Girls as Cow Teeters.
The Barnesville Cow Testing asso
ciation of Barnesville, O has been
forced to employ girls as testers, as
the available supply of men has been
exhausted by ui-j war calls.

Boy of Nineteen Is Hern of the
American Army.
TAKES DESPERATE CHANCES
Volunteers for Mast Perilcu Air
Work, Going Out on Stunts Aston
ishing to Hit Comrades, and Also
Probably Astonishing to the Enemy
Eddie Riekenbacker, Former Auto
Racer, Has Downed Seven.
The First army has its cap off tc
Frank Luke, who has brought down
11 enemy observation balloons and
one plane within a week. Luke vol
unteered for probably the most peril
ous air work, going out on stunts as
tonishing to his comrades, and also
probably astounding to the enemy,
writes Frederick A. Smith in the Chi
cago Tribune.
I sought out this demigod of avia
tion who has become in a few days
the American ace of aces in balloon
destruction, and fot;nd him to be a
boy of nineteen, whose blue eyes show
ingenuous surprise when he i3 asked
about his exploits. His enterprises
contribute to the fine record of Amer
ican aviators in this offensive. Sixty
three Boche planes have been dov.m c!
In a week, nine of which are alread.v
officially recorded, and 30 balloons.
Chicago Boy Downs One.
Thorne C. Taylor, son of Judge Tay
lor of Chicago, dropped one, adding to
his already fine record. Eddie Kicken
backer, former auto racor, just out of
the hospital after a mastoid operation,
added "three to his string, two of which
are olhcial, giving him seven Boche air-.
men to date.
When the offensive opened volun
teers were asked for balloon attacks.
Luke and Joseph F. YVehner of Ev
erett, Mass., stepped forward, although
they had only been pilots at the front
for a -few months.
They started, but
became separated; but each got
a
balloon. That moans they went singly
far across the foe's line and flew close
to the ground under the fire of machint
guns and aircraft guns, which, with
"flaming- onions," were filling the air
with fire. The onions are balls of un
intended to ignite the plane.
It is said that Luke in the Marm
campaign followed a Boche ace far
into German territory and dropped
him, but there was no chance to con
firm this for the official record. That
Mas his first blood, and he determined
his next accomplishment should be
made official. After dropping the bal
loon In flames Luke recrossed our
lines, alighting near an American ob
servation balloon and getting an im
mediate written statement from the
observer, who saw the battle.
The next day Luke was accompa
nied by Wehner, who, falling behind
and reaching the other side of the Ger
man front, was just in time to discover
Luke sending down a balloon in flames
unconscious of the fact that seven Hun
planes were right on his tail. Wehner
rising, came down on the Boche near
est Luke, shooting down the I Inn and
saving his comrade. Wehner thee
crippled another Boche, both then es
caping. Luke's plane was riddled, a
bullet hitting under the sent hack of
him, damaging the tank and cutting a
strut.
Attacks Antiaircraft Guns.
Saturday Luke went out with Jot
Dawson, getting another balloon, but
he was piqued because the bag didn't
burn, and descended almost to thi
ground, driving the antiaircraft gun
ners away from their pieces.
Tonncr Luke, who ouit school in
Phoenix, Ariz., to enter the war
causes Germany a loss of $7,000 for
each balloon dropped, in addition to
valuable instruments and maps requir
lmr months to make. On Monday eve
ning Luke and Wehner announced that
they would get three, the first at 7:V,
the second at 7:30 and the third at
7:43. Observers near the front saw
the three fall almost exactly on sched
ule. The daring, flyers. were forced to
return after dark, but were guided by
rockets and flares, and finally reached
home, both wrecking their machines in
alighting.
The Arizona boy one night on re
turning after bagging two more was
forced to land far away and was picked
up after walking some distance, sus
pected as a German in an American
uniform. He proved his identity, but
was forced to wait until morning be
fore returning to his airdrome.
Elckcnbarker Is a different style of
battler. "He lies In the sun," often
20,000 feet high, attacking only wh?n
he has the advantage or some com
rade beneath needs help. He always
flies alone. On Saturday, northeast oi
Ylguelles, Riekenbacker encountered
four Bodies who were pursuing Amer
ican bombers back toward our lines.
He maneuvered Into the sun and came
down on the rear German, then rising
sharply or "zooming the-German." Ill
escaped to a safe altitude easily, as
the downward swoop has such terrific
sp?fcd it carries the plane up like a
flash when the "zoom" starts.

A FEW SNACKS.
OR a small company
when supplies are
limited, a salad is
the dish upon which
we all rely. A most
tasty and attractive
one is this that was
the invention of ne
cessity, for one cu
cumber, one tomato,
and one large apple
served a happy salad. The apple was
peeled, and cored, then cut in thin
rings and dropped in cold water with
a little vinegar; this keeps the apple
from turning brown. The cucumber
was chopped or cut in fine cubes;
and one small onion was also cut in
the same manner. The slices of ap
ple was heared with tha onion and
cucumber mixture, which had been
well seasoned and mixed with salad
dressing and garnished with a strip
or two of red pepper. The tomato
was heapexl with a teaspoonful of the
salad dressing and garnished with two'
or three strips of green pepper. j
Cheese Dreams. With a biscuit
cutter cut circles from slices of close
textured bread. Lay on thinly sliced
cheese, place another circle on it In
the form of a sandwich, and brown
lightly in a little olive oil in a hot fry
ing pan.
Hot Cheese Sandwiches. Break'
open hot baking powder biscuit, but
ter, and lay in a thin slice of cheese.
Cover with a hot cloth and serve
quickly as the cheese should be melt
ed at once. These make a most dainty
lunch with a cupful of tea and a
dish of fruit.
Tomatoes With Eggs Feel small
firm tomatoes, scoop out the centers
which may be used as a soup or in
sauces, season well inside and out
wijh salt and paprika and put in the
oven, cook until boiling hot, then re
move. Drop in a piece of butter and
an egg, using care not to break the
yolk. When the egg Is firm, remove
from the oven and serve on buttered
rounds of toast. Leftover greens of
any kind that are cooked and season
ed may be molded in small eups and
served as a salad with a good dress
ing. Small balls of cottage cheese are
good with these-
